## Description

Shimano Inc. Socorro 5000F SOC5000SW Saltwater Spinning Reel 15.5 Oz/31"

Review: Awesome Reel! - I have used this reel multiple times over the past few months after purchase for onshore surf fishing. So far no issues. I have the 6000 model and spooled with 30lb braid with an 8ft top shot. I have used this for both light and heavy presentation. It held up and preformed extremely well. No change in smoothness or stability. The reel is very light and comfortable but yet feels very strong and stable. One thing I want to mention is that handle in not a screw in like the higher end model Shimano reels. It is an older style where the handle shaft goes through the reel and locked in with a screw on the reel cap. Handle also doesn't fold and the line capacity is a little slim. I suggest backing this reel with Braid line and topping it with either mono or flouro. Despite that this reel is AWESOME! Would I buy another? The answer is absolutely!
Review: Great price for the quality of reel you get - Light and very smooth reel for being a 6000. First fish on it was a decent snook. Great price for the quality of reel you get. Can't go wrong with Shimano! Looking forward to catching some monsters on it paired with the trevala rod :)

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I'm  considering penn spinfisher or clash for snook, redfish, etc. do you prefer the shimano soccoro? does it come with extra spool?**
A: They are both powerful reels. I live on the west coast so I don't have any experience with snook, redfish. I use both reels for Salt Water mostly Surf Perch but I did catch a Striped Bass just this morning and had am easy time reeling it in with my Shimano Socorro SW 5000. Neither my Socorro or Spinfishers came with extra spools. Hope this is helpful.

**Q: Made in Japan?**
A: no, Made in Malaysia

**Q: Would you recommend this reel for surfcasting ?**
A: I would absolutely recommend this for surf casting. This reel is the smoothest reel I’ve ever owned. It is not as light as some of the higher end reels, but it is bulletproof and smooooooooth! It is the only reel I will buy for surfcasting and rock fishing.

**Q: Left or right hand?  Or interchangable?**
A: It is interchangeable.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent quality reel

Right tool for the job....you cannot go wrong with anything from Shimano. This is set up on a 7'6' medium/heavy action rod and is the perfect combo for offshore angling for medium size fish.
